In Utah, two common rat species can pose a significant threat to homes and businesses: the Norway rat and the packrat. Norway rats are larger rodents, identifiable by their brown fur and long, hairless tails. They breed rapidly and can quickly infest a property. Packrats, on the other hand, are smaller and have bushy tails and large ears. While they don’t pose the same health risks as Norway rats, their tendency to collect and hoard materials can lead to property damage and attract other pests. These unwelcome rodents can cause a range of problems, from spreading diseases to damaging property and contaminating food sources, making professional intervention essential for maintaining a safe and healthy environment.
The best way to deal with a rat infestation is to prevent it from happening in the first place. These clever rodents are constantly seeking food, water, and shelter. By eliminating these attractants and sealing off entry points, you can significantly reduce the risk of an unwelcome invasion.
